No auto mount of NTFS partititions

Hi All,
I'm a newbie Arch user, few weeks ago I successfully installed Arch x64 + KDE4 on my desktop (dual boot with Windows 7). Earlier all the NTFS partitions were auto mounted on boot but now after booting into the desktop, I get the following error in Dolphin when I try to access any NTFS partition:
An error occured while accessing 'Disk', the system responded: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Not Authorized
Once I provide the admin password and manually mount the partitions, then I'm able to access the partitions.
Please advise on how can I make auto-mounting of NTFS partitions work.

Use fstab to mount internal stuff at boot. (and make sure to have ntfs-3g installed)

How to setup ivman to auto-mount ntfs partition using ntfs-3g

Hi,
I use ivman/pmount to auto-mount removable devices,
but for ntfs partitions, it mounts by type "ntfs" which can not support "write"!
But I can not figure out how to config ivman to do that,
can someone help me, please?

Smb-sharing auto-mounted ntfs-3g hotplugged device

hi@all,
i have a smb-share for /media. i've got up to 2 partitions mounted there: one internal., mounted via fstab (/dev/sda2 /media/Transfer ntfs-3g locale=de_DE.utf8 0 0) and 1 that gets mounted automatically via udisk/gvfs (not really sure, the default gnome mounting routine^^). i can access sda2 without problems over a samba share, but when i try to open the external hdd, samba requests a user and a password, though it's the same share in the smb.conf. someone in the irc mentioned to put it into the fstab, either, but then the auto-mounting doesn't work anymore (and the external isn't connected everytime the pc boots up). anyone knows how to get this working?
btw, here's how the external hdd gets mounted:
/dev/sdc1 on /media/Extern type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
and the smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = Arbeitsgruppe
server string = Samba Server
netbios name = ArchBox
security = share
wins support = no
[Media]
path = /media
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

Working auto-mount?

Hi all,
I have a xfce4 desktop installed. I want an automount service. I tried autoFS, with the following settings:
auto.master
/media /etc/autofs/auto.custom --timeout=15
auto.custom
disc -fstype=auto,ro,nodev,nosuid :/dev/cdrom
Backup -fstype=auto,user,rw,async,umask=000,gid=users,noatime,nodiratime :/dev/disk/by-uuid/f569bba5-8007-40f5-8b3c-36960c5796d5
## Backup -fstype=ext4,user,rw,async,umask=000,gid=users,noatime,nodiratime :/dev/disk/by-uuid/f569bba5-8007-40f5-8b3c-36960c5796d5
Shared -fstype=ntfs-3g,user,rw,async,umask=000,gid=users,noatime,nodiratime :/d ev/disk/by-uuid/565AF3085AF2E421
ReaderCard -fstype=vfat,flush,user,rw,async,umask=000,gid=users,noatime,nodirat
ime :/dev/disk/by-uuid/0102-0304
##ReaderInt -fstype=auto,async,nodev,nosuid,umask=000,gid=users :
## Other medium here
# floppy -fstype=auto,async,nodev,nosuid,umask=000 :/dev/fl
The files are formatted following the instructions. The partition Backup, however, does not come up ("no such file or directory", even when root).
Backup is ext4 and it's kept on an external hard drive, the same of Shared. Mounting it manually works. I have tried with simpler options (as simple as
Backup -fstype=auto :/dev/disk/by-uuid/f569bba5-8007-40f5-8b3c-36960c5796d5
with no results. Autofs won't do.
As an alternative I have tried xfce volume manager, but that doesn't work with ANY external device.
Please help. Thank you.

That would be a solution - if it worked. I tried that too. The Arch wiki just glances on the setup, solving the whole question with a one liner "Thunar-volman's automount doesn't work currently because of the hal to udev switch, Sept 2010"
The section on udev is obscure, mentioning to check policykit to "properly start your session".
However the policykit page is also obscure, containing no mention about starting X session properly or even improperly for what matters.
The default setting produces no result at all.
Nowhere I was able to find a five-lines working example of set up. I have used Linux daily since 2000 (and I know it should not take more than 5 line explanation to setup an auto-mount).
I am really embittered by this interpretation of "the arch way". The documentation on certain core tools such as policykit is completely insufficient and the defaults do not solve basic problems (hours to set up a basic auto-mount? incomplete wiki pages referring each other?).
Arch could be a perfect desktop distribution with just a pinch of attention to put the obvious features, when correctly disabled by default, at easy reach through complete examples. (Shutdown buttons? Same story: one line reference to policykit, dbus and other 10 tools with not the barest explanation about how to use them in synergy for the purpose. Result? Manual shutdown for the moment).
If you could provide a working setup for thunar volume manager I'll be happy to use and add it to the wiki.
Thank you.

[SOLVED]External HD: Auto-mount in read-only and only root can access

So I followed the advice in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 88#p583088 regarding using udev to auto-mount my external 60gb harddrive, and it works. The only problem is, it is being mounted read-only and I can only view the contents via sudo or as the superuser.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction I need to go to get this changed? I have already once tried to recursively chown everything on the harddrive, but that didn't seem to work. The syntax I used from that above article specifies "rw" as one of the options for the mount command, so I am stumped as to why this happened.
Thanks

I tried mounting one of them but this is what it shows:

Please help me, this is very annoying compared to ubuntu which does do the job pretty well. By the way, I'm using kde as my DE. Dolphin sees the partitions but cant access.
It says:

Auto-mounting USB storage devices doesn't work

Hi all,
I have some problems with the auto-mounting of USB storage devices. I already installed udisks and ntfs-3g.
When I connect the external device (it's an external hard disk WD My Passport 500GB, but I have the same problem with a SanDisk USB stick 8GB) the auto-mount doesn't work. I see a shorcut in the left panel of Thunar but if I try to use it Thunar crash without any message error.
I try with the manual mount and it works, but the left panel of Thunar continue to have the same problem.
In the italian Arch forum a friend suggest me to open Thunar from bash and close it. If I do it I receive this error log:
$ thunar
thunar: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: _ZNSt14error_categoryD2Ev, version GLIBCXX_3.4.15
and this is the reply of dmesg command:

The error looks like you have a different version of gcc-libs / glibc than the app was built against.

How to turn off auto mounting of server on boot?

I've got an old MacPro that is running Mavericks but is having an issue where the finder constantly crashes and restarts. I think it may have to do with a an old server (an external Mac mini) that would mount when the MacPro booted up because I now get an error message telling me that the Mac Pro can no longer find that server (which makes sense as it is no longer there). If I leave the error window open and don't click 'ok', the Finder remains intact and the crash loop does not begin. If I click 'ok' in the server connection error window, the problems begin.
…So, where do I "turn off" this auto mounting of the old mac mini on boot? I've looked in my Login items in the system prefs and no such task is there, and I can no longer recall how i even set up this automount function.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Repair Disk.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair.Macintosh HD.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Click Restart.

How Do I find out what app is auto-mounting a network share and stop it?

I have a new laptop, the 13" rMBP. I installed Steam and wanted to use the network share on my server to store the game files. Everything went OK. I closed Steam, disconnected the share and shutdown my laptop. When I opened my laptop later on at work, it started to try and mount the network share.It keeps on going it. I removed the Steam app and all files related to Steam that I could find. I've looked at fstab, auto_home, auto_master and a large list of other files and directories and I *still* cannot find the offending file that's auto-mounting the share. It's really frustrating.
The share auto-mounts when I am home but not on the desktop or in finder. I find it by looking at /Volumes/ in terminal. If I mount the share manually under /Volumes/ it shows as Games-1 and mounts on the desktop under Games.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking to find the offending process/file/daemon?
Thank you!
Trevor

thanks for the reply but are you sure about this? What difference would it make? Why 5 apps?
Even if it does work, which I doubt, at some point, I will have to resync ALL my apps again and surely the same thing will happen again, and I will be none the wiser. I still won't know which app it is. There must be a way of finding this out.
Any ideas?
What is really freaking me out is how it is connecting to my carrier (who is charging me) with Cellular data switched off.......?
Thanks again.

External Hard Drive connected to AEBS does not auto mount

Just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.5. I have a AEBS running 5.3.2 airport utility with a LaCie HD connected to it.
In Tiger, my external hard drive would auto mount onto the desktop every time the computer turned on or woke up from sleeping etc.
In Leopard, my external drive will not auto mount. It does not show up in the sidebar under devices. It does not show up in the disk utility. To access it, I have to go the the finder sidebar, select my AEBS under shared, then select my HD. Also, I did check show connected servers and external disk on the desktop in the finder preferences. Also, not sure if this matters but the icon on my external drive on my desktop is the blue drive with three people holding hands and not the brighter blue one with the wireless signal logo.
In tiger my external HD basically acted like any other folder that was always there and not like a networked drive that I had to go and connect to. I want to go back to that. I heard this has to do with leopord no longer having the airdisk utility??
thanks

Try making an alias of one of the top-level folders in your external (AEBS-connected) drive, drag it to the desktop, and then put it in your Login Items.
--> System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items
You can simply drag the folder alias into the Login Items window.
When you next log in, the folder will be automatically opened. Alas, it doesn't give you instant access to the entire external drive, but you can back out a level to see the entire drive. It isn't quite what you had with Tiger, but perhaps it will suffice.
If you leave the aliased folder on your desktop, you have a skinny approximation to the mounted volume that you had with Tiger.

External hard drive and SD card won't auto mount

I am using MBP with retina on Yosemite. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013).
On Maverick, all my external drives used to auto mount. The same was true just after Yosemite was installed. Lately, only my Time Machine hard drive auto mounts and others don't, e.g. my backup drive that I use with Super Duper! and my camera SD card. I have to go to disk utility and mount them manually. I did not see any option for auto mount in disk utility.
Could you please guide me on how to get auto mount back?
Thanks in advance

I have been dealing with this same issue for the past several months. Running a Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. This problem occurs when I plug in Firewire, USB, or SD card. The external hardware appear to be working fine, it has to be either a setting, or a quirk that needs corrected with Yosemite. I have run all OS systems since Snow Leopard. Never had this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

How do I stop a CCC partition auto mounting in Lion

I have an external USB drive with 2 partitions. The first partition has a CCC Clone of my drive before Lion. The second is used for Time Machine. This drive auto mounts on boot which is fine but the CCC partition causes problems with the App Store as it sees Apps that I installed in the Clone backup as installed on Lion. The easy way for me to fix this is just to eject the CCC partition but I have to do this every time I boot. Is there a way of just stopping this drive from auto mounting on boot and manually mounting if need be. Any help would be appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

I just upgraded to the latest version of Lion--I don't know why it didn't change the info. under my Apple icon. And I know I can uncheck the box while signing off, but you have to do it each time--I'm looking for a way to uncheck it and recheck whenever I want, the way the dock options are supposed to work (although it doesn't for me anymore with Lion).
Checked the Users and Groups--the only login items listed are basically 4 apps that I had back when I had my PC and I no longer have them--I may have had Growl for awhile but I deleted it. There are yellow triangles by them. No other apps listed there.
I guess I'll have to uncheck the box each time I sign off. Tedious, but that's the way it is. Wish I had Snow Leopard back!
Thanks for your suggestions though--just wish they worked.

I am unable to mount my NTFS partition after the last update

I usually mounted my NTFS partition with the "gnome-disk" utility. It works no longer, only if I start it with "sudo". But in this case the mount point will be in a directory called "root" and this cause several problems, eg.: old hardcoded paths stop working in scripts. What can I do to make the gnome-disk utility work as an ordinary user.

Thx, maybe I could use the fstab to mount the partition, am I right? But I don't know how to do it properly, because when I tried it in the past native hungarian characters iny the file and directory names always caused problems. If I somehow could capture the command sequence which the gnome-disk utility passes to the kernel / bash, would be helpful.
